This topic hasn't been kicked around for a while so I thought I'd toss it out there: "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints strongly encourages married couples to have children. It is against birth control. In a letter from the First Presidency to bishops and stake presidents, dated April 14, 1969, the Church's philosophy is expressed: "We seriously regret that there should exist a sentiment or feeling among any members of the Church to curtail the birth of their children. We ...

Physicians For Life - Abstinence, Abortion, Birth Control - Teen Quotes to Note Dr. Leo Alexander, Chief U.S. Medical Consultant at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials confirmed that... "Whatever proportions these crimes finally assumed, it became evident to all who investigated them that they had started from small beginnings. "The beginnings at first were merely a subtle shift in emphasis in the basic attitude of physicians. The infinitely small wedge-in lever from which this entire trend of mind received its impetus, was the attitude toward the non-rehabilitable sick." Once the physician or professor murdered his first ...
The leading mechanism of suicide among children aged 10--19 years was firearms for whites and blacks (Table 11). However, suffocation, especially by hanging, was the leading mechanism of suicide among AI/ANs, A/PIs, and Hispanics. Whites aged 10--19 years had the largest percentage of suicides by poisoning (7.6%), and A/PIs had the highest percentage of suicides attributed to falls (8.1%). Increasing certain protective factors is more effective in reducing suicide attempts than decreasing risk factors. Protective factors include discussion of problems with relatives ...
Teen Life Q&A Special: FAQ on Teen Suicide The most frequently How do I know when to take a friend's suicide threat seriously? The best rule to follow is if a friend says that they are going to kill themselves you should take it seriously. Don't worry about what will happen if your friend wasn't really serious. Don't dismiss the threat as a cry for attention. Turn to somebody who is in a position to get help for your friend if the threat is real. Obviously there are situations where somebody may say, " I wish I was dead! " and not mean it at all but it is better to be safe than sorry. No harm ever came from caring too much!
What should I say to my suicidal friend? Tell them that you care about them and that they are an important part of your life. Tell them how your world would never feel the same without them. Ask them to reach out for professional help rather than take their life into their own hands. Don't leave them alone, get other friends involved if you must, and alert somebody who is able to intervene and get your friend some professional help. Go to a parent, trusted adult or school official. ...
Teenage Birth Rates - Pregnant Teen Help Research is pointing to teenage pregnancy prevention programs, contraception availability and just overall more education on the problems associated with teenage pregnancy and unsafe sex to the drop in numbers. In looking at a state-by-state comparison, the drop in numbers varies (please see the article on teenager pregnancy statistics for more information). As of 2004, the number of live births to teenage mothers across the United States was 415,408. And the number of births to teenagers in the United States aged 15-19 was 41.2 out of a 1,000.
Unfortunately the United States still has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies when compared to other counties of similar status. Some have questioned this because they do not feel the teenagers in the United States are any more sexually active then those in similar countries. It goes back to education about sex and pregnancy prevention within the schools and homes. More should and can be done to help the teenage birth rates decline even more.
NAMI | Teenage Suicide Most everyone at some time in his or her life will experience periods of anxiety, sadness, and despair. These are normal reactions to the pain of loss, rejection, or disappointment. Those with serious mental illnesses, however, often experience much more extreme reactions, reactions that can leave them mired in hopelessness. And when all hope is lost, some feel that suicide is the only solution. It isn’t .
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, scientific evidence has shown that almost all people who take their own lives have a diagnosable mental or substance abuse disorder, and the majority have more than one disorder. In other words, the feelings that often lead to suicide are highly treatable. That’s why it is imperative that we better understand the symptoms of the disorders and the behaviors that often accompany thoughts of suicide. With more knowledge, we can often prevent the devastation of losing a loved one.

Youth Under Attack: Pro-Contraception Sex-Ed. Understanding what goes on in the teen brain will help clarify the picture. There are two different approaches. Two main branches are actively involved: the amygdala a lower portion of the brain, which is active at the level of feelings, impulses, and emotional responses, and the pre-frontal cortex, which is active in planning, decision-making, seeing consequences, moral intelligence, rational behavior, and abstract thinking. During adolescence, brain pruning takes place where strong connections are made in the brain based on whether they are used or not. Parts that are used ...
